Austin is known for its tacos, but you probably don’t know the stories behind the people who make our corn-or-flour-wrapped deliciousness, or what makes Austin’s tacos stand out among the sea of tacos statewide. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by taco journalist Mando Rayo, whose latest season of “Tacos of Texas” is out now. Plus, Mando shares some of his favorite tacos in town, and encourages Austinites to venture out of the city center for the best tacos around, and to head particularly to Austin’s Taco Mile (map here!). Don’t miss Mando’s story on the origin of the San Antonio/Austin taco wars — not that they’re a thing, y’all. Seriously.
